You Never Know



Hi everyone,

By the time tulips have reached this stage, it's generally time toss them out. Because of the beautiful colour, I left them until the petals began to drop. 

Snow drifted down last night. I do like a surprise though, and a white world this late in the spring fills that category.  Needless to say, this spring has been a cool one. (You never know there could be snow.)

Yesterday I just had to go to the woods. Since I injured my foot last June, I haven't been going too far. I finished physiotherapy last week, and it still hasn't healed. So, the physiotherapist recommended shockwave therapy even though she said she couldn't endure it. That did make me laugh because, really, what a recommendation! I will ruminate on that one. To me, it doesn't seem wise to shock an injury, although the idea of it is to reduce scar tissue. The other and last option besides a brace I've ordered to wear at night is a cortisone shot.

Below, the tiny green sprouts of the Trout Lilies. When they bloom a wonderful carpet of yellow will fill the undergrowth. Although they are the first flowers that bloom, in the woods, in spring, they can be quite tender. Fingers crossed that the snow is kind to them. 


In May there will be an art exhibition at the mall. Three entries are allowed. I have a few paintings in mind but, besides the one below, I will likely paint two new paintings. I will frame the painting below as soon as my point driver arrives. Not something I've done before, and pastels have to be framed so that the painting doesn't touch the mat or dust may fall on the mat. Spacers are used, but I haven't been able to find any, but I can use acid free foam core. Are you with me lady luck?
                
                                                           
                                                  Pastel on Pastel mat paper 8 x 10 inches.

                    
                                          A few new soft pastels from Great American. 

                                                        
                                             Pastel on pastel mat Approximately 13 3/4 x 9 3/4 inches

If you've been reading here awhile, you may remember this painting. I kept wanting to add a boat to it, and finally figured out how.



             I am happy to report that my computer problems are all sorted thanks to my son, Jesse. 

Have a lovely day... 'Til next time...

The parties cover most of the globe; there’s much to see and admire, so do stop in for a few visits.

To the Sea ~ Continued






I decided to add a few more pictures from Nova Scotia for my web log.  Of course, in the end, it will only be a fraction of what I took while I was there.

When I was visiting, we took time for a whistle stop in Chester, N.S.  A lovely little town that promotes the arts. They have an active Playhouse as well as a busy Art Gallery. There are many wonderful artists and beautiful vacation homes in this wealthy area. 


A quaint main street.



I spied this American Flag so I sauntered up the street to investigate.


O, I see. 



Moving along to Black Rocks. I believe this boat must be there for artists. Perfect for a painting.


Low tide.



Interesting back yard booty.


Pelham house. The oldest house Lunenburg, N.S. Circa 1760.


Circa 1775.  Love the door.


Fishing Shack. Blue Rocks, N.S.


Antique glass buoys.


Next door. 
This shack is not a working fishing shack, so the inside rumbles with innovative, artistic decor. Everywhere you look something remarkable peeps out at you.
I was in it several years ago, but it's been sold so I couldn't take a peek this time.

Notice the church window to the left.


The tree out there is decked for Christmas.
Apparently, a tourist was concerned about the duck to the left because it wasn't moving. She thought someone better rescue it.  
It is a decoy.



 

Another lovely door.

I will  be listing this framed Iris oil painting in my Etsy shop next week.
